Answer
Baby piglets need to be kept very warm. Set up an area with a heat lamp, make sure he always feels warm to touch. Goats milk is a good choice, serve it at room temperature or just slightly warm to touch (not hot!).  

Baby pigs eat a little bit but often. As he grows, his tummy will grow and he'll be able to eat more at each meal, and be able to go a little longer in between meals.

When he is about a month old, start putting a few Starter Pellets in his milk. Keep adding more and more pellets until it's the consistency of oatmeal or cream of wheat cereal, then begin reducing the amount of milk until he's eating dry pellets. Take your time. Pigs wean their piglets at about 8 weeks, so the transition from milk to food should take about a month.

I highly recommend the book "Pot-Bellied Pig Behavior and Training" by Priscilla Valentine. The dvds "There's a Pig in the House" and "Amazing Pig Tricks" from Tophogs.com are also excellent. Some good websites to visit for information are www.farec.org  www.pigs4ever.com
